A fake message was shared by Pawan Khera of the Congress stating that “According to Modiji, there are 7 lakh unelectrified villages in Karnataka. Just so that he knows, there are 6,40,867 villages in India. Not the first time”

The BJP IT cell head Amit Malviya replied him and other people who were interested in the article and the tweet by Pawan Khera.

Our fack check team went in the analysis and found even the fact provide by Pawan Khera is wrong and even till now he has not deleted or asked for sorry on the tweet.

Going by the profile of Pawan Khera, it can be seen that even he is not sure of what he is posting his profile mentions “I am, because I think I am. Views are mine - not always of the Congress Party.”, that means he is posting but it is his view and not of the Congress party.

He took a tweet from TV 9, screen shot where the ticker mentioned 7 lakh villeges in Karnatakka are living in the dark. He shared it from another twitter user who gave the wrong information as well.

There are 6,40,867 villages in entire India, let alone Karnataka; 80% of these were electrified by 2014.
